Thanks Neil. I was going nuts trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Putting text there to identify each of my accounts was a great thing. Guess I'll have to wait until I see if you guys will let us use the "Full Name" field in Preferences to put our text in. Sherry |

I'm not sure innerhtml is the best way to do it. I'm not close to being a javascript programmer. I know using "innerhtml" is considered a "sin" among some javascript programmers. It works though! I prepended all variable identifiers in my tweaks.js with "twk" to avoid conflicts with whatever else is running in the interface. Perhaps we should have some naming conventions so that code snippets can easily be shared among users. Quote:
I've posted a two line javascript snippet on the NewInterfaceJS wiki page that changes the displayed email addres to arbitrary text. (It will be four lines with the code that needs to wrap it. That's also in that wiki page). And I tested it and it works on IE6. tweaks.js is |

Keyboard action menu
The keyboard action menu come up when typing "." (a period). Then one can use either the keyboard or the mouse to select actions. I was wondering whether it is a good idea to also allow it to come up with some mouse action, such as double-click (or if it's doable using custom javascript)/

Question: Is there a way to color the text and also to align it to the left of the menu bar? Sherry EDIT: I figured out the color part so just need to align to the left if possible. Last edited by Sherry : 7 Dec 2008 at 06:52 AM. |

Seems like a good idea Hadaso, especially for functions. (don't have any practical suggestions though)

I tried to use this js library with tweaks.js, but I don't see how I can get the interface to include the the file. The instructions there say to put
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="wz_tooltip.js"></script> Code:
var twktooltiplib = document.createElement('script'); twktooltiplib.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript'); twktooltiplib.setAttribute('src', 'lib/wz_tooltip.js'); insertBefore(twktooltiplib,document.childNodes[1].firstChild); Code:
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(twktooltiplib) |

Safari Ctrl+Click & General Comments
Ctrl+Click doesn"t work as expected in the rich text compose screen - Just gives three cut/copy/paste options rather than the standard menu of options (incl. spelling correction/search in Google/etc). This is in Safari on the Mac by the way.
Otherwise first looks are OK, although everything could be tightened up a bit on screen (e.g. buttons are a bit big, tool bar doesn't resize too well in small windows, wasted space a bit of a problem compared with the older stylesheet I was using, which seemed to give more on screen). Also liked the way the advanced screen used to be, new layout appears to mimic the basic screen more. Maybe option to change default exists, haven't investigated much. Will take a bit of getting used to but do look forward to seeing the final version when it's tightened up a bit. Ver: r17187 Sorry if this has already been mentioned - 60 pages of messages on this very popular single thread is a bit much to skim through. Nick |

Do you think that it is possible, thanks to a CSS tweak, to reduce the length of the 2 drop-downs in "show more options" view of emails?
Thanks Ludo |

Thanks a lot
I just have to remove the Delete button now, and I will finally be able to have all the option on a single line! |

It doesn't scale down well on lower resolutions (<1440x900) at the moment. Part of the problem is that I still need to remove the "Next" and "Previous" text, and just display the arrows instead. I'll work on that when I have time. I also need to clean up & reorganize all of the quick & dirty tweaks I've been making since the new interface was released. Edit: I just noticed that the .nextPrev div blocks the reply/forward buttons due to the higher z-index. Also, the bottom rows are not currently condensed. I'll definitely have to fix those issues before I recommend anyone else use those tweaks. Edit: OK. I added a higher z-index to .messageActions and .secondaryActions to put it in front of the nav links. Last edited by Mystakill : 13 Dec 2008 at 03:21 AM. |

I'm getting an odd error from Lifehacker emails that are sent via rssfwd. It seems to actually reconstruct the entire fastmail layout, putting most of the interface below the message.
See these: (top of message, notice nothing on the left side) http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/1175/capture1nl8.jpg (bottom of message, rest of folderlist goes off down the page) http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1152/captureif8.jpg Think this might be an odd bug or some such? |

It is really annoying so I hope that FM will soon find a way to fix it. |

There is also a problem viewing some newsletters also. One example is the Windows Secrets newsletter. A second vertical scrollbar appears on the right, inside the regular Windows scrollbar, but it only has to scroll about 1/4 of an inch. So when you try to scroll with the mouse scroll wheel or the down arrow key it stops after it moves 1/4" and then the only way to scroll is to grab the Windows scrollbar and drag it down.
I ended up creating a rule to automatically forward it as new to Gmail, where I can re4ad it normally. Oddly enough, one that I received like this could scroll even with two scrollbars, but most won't. Jim |
